You have to join for a small fee, but their archive covers all composers and top quality midi files with hundreds of selections available for download.

Subject: [disklavier] Help Disklavier quality MIDI performances -where are they?
Hi all. I have an MX100A disklavier. My local Yamaha retailer is
To Post a message to the group, send it to: disklavier@...
getting out of stocking PianoSoft titles, leaving me nowhere to buy
(hopefully) quality performances locally, and I don't necessarily
want to buy from Yamaha's web site.
I have done the usual of downloading MIDI files and converting them
to ESEQ as my machine needs to play, but all to often the
performances are (not to put too fine a word on it) CR*P!
My question is this - can you point me to web sites where good
quality MIDI files are available - most of the stuff I have
downloaded recently is poorly sequenced and badly played, and it's a
waste of such a fime instrument just to play rubbish.
My tastes are Beethoven (Appassionata is a favourite), Mozart, etc,
plus some jazz and bits of modern music. Any ideas?
Season's Greetings

If classical music is your bent, two other excellent download
sites discussed here a few weeks ago are those of Katsuhiro Oguri and Richard
Carlson. Oguri has a very wide range of solo piano performances, with
which I've almost filled three 1.4 Mb floppies. Carlson has a smaller but
growing selection, also very good. Both sites are painful to download from
(one song at a time, no zipped files) but are well worth the effort. The
links are:
Also here's a link to a page with a long list of other links:
